Things seem so upside-down now, so confused and mixed up. Donald Grey Barnhouse, in his book on Revelation, makes these comments --
"There are four things out of place in the universe.
The church is out of place. She should be in heaven.
Israel is out of place. She should be occupying the land sworn to her and occupying every part.
The devil is out of pace. He ought to be in the lake of fire.
And Christ is out of place. He should be through with intercession and seated on His throne, reigning, instead of at His Father's throne, interceding.
But in Revelation we begin to see all of these things that are out of place being put in their rightful place, right where they were meant to be.
The church is in heaven.
Israel is about to be given back her kingdom and the promised land.
The devil is going to be bound and cast into the lake of fire.
And Christ is about to reign."
And those in heaven know this. They are waiting, too.
And finally everything will be put back the way it was intended to be!
And we will be where we were meant to be - with God in our forever home!
Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!
